Oh, sweetie. If my father knew you were here, he would chop you up and use you as fertilizer for next year's Chardonnay.

Joe

Mateo: You're scared.
Joe: Of what? Competing against you?
Mateo: Of what I know. Is that right, Carlos?

Antonio: The other night at the anniversary party, Mateo said a name, Carlos Rincón. Do you have any idea who that is?
Margaret: No.
Antonio: Well, whoever he is, just hearing his name gave Joe a start. He tried to hide it, but I don't ever think I've seen my pops so rattled.
Margaret: Then let's try to find out who this Carlos Rincón is.

Billy: How's our son?
Lettie: Our son? Now you care after all these years?
Billy: I never wanted to leave you. It was the best thing for Mateo, for both of you, I had to heal. It's been a long road.

Carmen: You hit that man.
Veronica: What? Who? Cruz Delgado? I don't know what to do.

You can play that card, hurt me, maybe even bring me down. Just remember, I'm not the only one who is undocumented. And it's not just Daniela. Are you willing to blow up your mother's life, too?

Joe

Antonio: I've been meaning to ask you about the night of the anniversary party. What was that about? Who's Carlos Rincón? Is it someone I should be worried about, or?
Mateo: Um. I was pretty wasted that night. I don't remember.

We're the same size. Like hermanas.

Young Margaret

Joe: Do you wake up in the morning thinking of ways to screw me over?
Margaret: Oh, Joe. I go to bed thinking about it, too.

Lettie: Our son's a drug addict. He skipped school today, came home wasted. I lied for him told the principal he sick. Covered for him because I knew how you'd react.
Joe: I'm going to kill that boy.
Lettie: You won't do anything, Joe. I let you drive away one of my sons. I'll be damned if I let you drive away another.

Mr. Honeycroft: You look familiar, Lettie. Have we met?
Margaret: Lettie works for us, daddy. In the vineyard.
Mr. Honeycroft; Really? You can afford a $20 and hour tutor and you hire a wetback?
